Official rulings

12 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.

Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

To have two commanders, both must have appropriate partner abilities as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

Mutagen tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one is a colorless artifact with the artifact subtype Mutagen and the ability "{1}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. Activate only as a sorcery."

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

If other effects modify how much damage a creature you control with counters on it would deal—by preventing some of it, for example—the player being dealt damage or the controller of the permanent being dealt damage chooses the order in which any such effects (including Raphael's) apply. If all of the damage is prevented, Raphael's effect no longer applies.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

You can have two commanders if each one has "Partner—Character select." You can't mix and match them with cards that have other partner abilities.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

Some spells and abilities that create Mutagen tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. The Mutagen token won't be created.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

If damage dealt by a creature you control with counters on it is being divided or assigned among multiple permanents and/or players, that damage is divided or assigned before doubling. For example, if you attack with a 5/5 creature with trample and it's blocked by a 2/2 creature, you can assign 2 damage to the blocker and 3 damage to the defending player. Those amounts are then doubled to 4 and 6, respectively.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

The damage is dealt by the same source as the original source of damage. The doubled damage isn't dealt by Raphael unless he was the original source of damage.

2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast

If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Donatello, the Brains and Splinter, the Mentor are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with blue and/or black in their color identity, but not cards with red, green, or white. (If Leonardo, the Balance is one of your commanders, your deck may contain cards with any color or combination of colors in their color identity, regardless of who your other commander is.)
